SEPTEMBER 25, 2016 THE PARADISE POSTANCIENT
PATRIARCHS INTRODUCTION: The writer of the article about the Atlantis
find below, believes that the cover-up of this sunken island of the
Ampere Seamount was due to “Chernobyl and a cover-up of Soviet
scientsts’ inaptitude.” But, obviously not only the Soviets covered up
the find, but also the American submarine crew who was threatened to
never speak a word about the walls and man made artifacts found on
Ampere, after they spotted the Soviets and came to investigate what they
were doing there.The REAL reason for the cover-ups
and silence of both powers is that Atlantis is not just ‘politically
incorrect’, but Atlantis is a banned and anathema subject because it
does not jive with the prescribed secular humanist narrative of
preferred Darwinism that both super powers ascribe to and support the
spreading of it. Why? Because they are both anti spirituality &
religion, as that makes people “independent thinkers” from them, who do
not subscribe to either party’s One World Government plans. A OWG needs a
pacified population that fully supports the new religion of politicised
Science instead of a religion of an inconvenient God. Enjoy the
submarine discovery!It Could Be Time for a Fresh Look at Forgotten Reports – By Martin Ruggles

Thirty-eight
years ago, steel leviathans silently, invisibly stalked each other in
the dark, light-less depths of the North Atlantic with nuclear-warhead
torpedoes. More than once, their near-miss encounters almost made of the
Cold War a hot one, and unofficial accusations of submarines on both
sides deliberately sunk with all hands, are still around, nearly four
decades later. Into this fearsome arena and time, stealthily cruised the
Moskovsky Universitet, ostensibly a research ship, as her scholarly
name was meant to suggest.But it was a small part of
her deception. Only one-hundred-seventy-eight feet long and capable of
just 11.2 knots, the seven-year-old, former fishing vessel wallowed
awkwardly in the ocean swells of autumn 1977. Nearest landfall was two
hundred sixty-five miles away at Portugal’s Cape St. Vincent, the
European Continent’s westernmost tip. Africa lay three-hundred-forty-two
miles to the southeast, and the Rock of Gibraltar stood another
thirty-one miles due east. To the forty-one men aboard, the seas they
entered seemed excessively remote.Their purpose,
according to Russian officials, was “to study the sandbanks in the
shallow waters of the Mediterranean Sea and of the Atlantic Ocean not
far from northwest Africa. On board the ship as part of the team were
geologists and [marine] biologists. The origin, structure and [animal]
population of the sandbanks, the peaks of underwater mountains and of
the shallows comprised the main scientific interest of the specialists.”
But their “scientific interest” disguised covert operations.Among
the “specialists” deep inside the 922-ton Soviet Academy of Sciences’
vessel were Red Navy personnel operating state-of-the-art detection
instrumentation for monitoring America’s underwater fleet. They
suspected that a particular, strategically located, flat-topped, sunken
mountain offered natural opportunities for the installation of an enemy
submarine base: the guyot’s [= underwater tablemount] uppermost portions
were less than two hundred feet beneath the surface of the water.
Soviet officials had been alerted to the site’s possible military
significance the previous decade, when the RV Vema from New York’s
Lamont Geological Observatory had been observed prowling the vicinity.Now,
electronic scanning by Moskovsky Universitet radio engineers picked up
no transmissions associated with the Ampere Seamount, but side-scan
sonar did reveal what could have been possible construction features
there, so a submersible “still camera” with directional capabilities
went over the side.A
report in the Soviet magazine, Znanie-Sila (“Knowledge Is Power”;),
told how “lighting equipment and special cameras were lowered to a depth
of three-and-a-half meters [eleven-and-a-half feet] above the bottom of
the seamount’s summit, after which the lights were switched on, and a
series of photographs were taken using a simple, automatic device.Each
series took about an hour to an hour-and-a-half to complete.” The
resulting several hundred images were assembled into a comprehensive
panorama of the subsurface underwater mountaintop by “a specialist in
underwater photography from the USSR Institute of Oceanography,”
Vladimir Ivanovitch Marakuyev.“While still on the
expedition, when I had developed the photographs and made the first
prints,” he said, “I realized that I never had seen anything like this
before. The Institute of Oceanography of the USSR has a huge archive of
underwater photographs that have been taken on countless expeditions
over many years in all parts of the world’s oceans.”“We
also have copies of many thousands of photographs taken by our American
colleagues. Nowhere have I seen anything so close to traces of the life
and activity of Man in places which could once have been dry land.”Marakuyev
was referring to a stonewall of cut and fitted blocks mostly covered by
weeds and mud, part of its top sections protruding five feet above the
silt layer. Comparative analysis determined that the un-obscured section
was “slightly longer”—less than six feet—and thirty inches wide.“On
the first photograph,” observed Alexander Nesterenko, director of the
Fleet Department of the Institute of Oceanography, “we can see this wall
on the left side of the photograph. Stone blocks on the upper edge of
the mass are clearly visible. Taking into account the foreshortening of
the photograph and the height of the wall, it is curious to examine more
closely the strip of vertical masonry.“Although the
lens was pointing almost vertically downwards, areas of masonry can be
seen quite clearly. One can count five such areas, and if one takes into
account the deformation of scale caused by the nearness of the lens to
the object, one may suggest that the masonry blocks of the wall are
about seventy-five centimeters [29.5 inches]. The masonry blocks are
clearly visible on both sides of the wall. Seaweed is visible on all the
photographs, thick, reddish brown in color …”“Specialists
who’ve looked at it,” added Andrei Aksyonov, deputy director of the
Institute of Oceanography at the Soviet Academy of Sciences, “say it’s a
typical wall from antiquity.”“Other photographs
revealed broad, smooth pavement-like areas, plus the tops of regularly
spaced, stone steps suggesting a grand staircase. “On an area over which
lava has flowed can be seen something that appears to descend by three
steps. If one counts the upper and barely visible lower edges, in all we
can see five steps. They are broken down, of course, and overgrown with
glass-like sponges.”He stated that the structures
“once stood on the surface of land, above sea level. I believe that the
objects in the pictures once stood on the surface. The catastrophic
earthquake in Lisbon, in 1755, caused a tidal wave and a flood that left
part of the city forever beneath the sea. Something similar may have
happened to an island of which the Ampere Seamount would be the
submarine remnant.”After repeated testing of the
Moskovsky Universitet’s camera equipment and consultations with
earth-scientists back in Russia, Marakuyev confirmed that imagery of the
apparently man-made structures resulted from neither film, nor
instrument anomalies or malfunctions, nor were the unusual targets
natural, geologic formations mistaken for artificial features.Dr.
Sofia Stepanovna Barinova, from the Soviet Academy of Sciences’
Institute of Biology, cited the immense mantle of silt that overlays the
ruins like an obscuring cloak, concealing virtually every trace of
physical evidence. A constant deposition of decomposed micro-organic
materials has been continuously descending on the ruins, not for
centuries but millennia, piling up sediment of unmeasured thickness.
Accordingly, Marakuyev’s photographs revealed only a tiny fraction of
their uppermost portions. Beneath Ampere’s vast blanket of ooze could
hide an entire city. But Russian interest in the sunken mountain had not
gone unnoticed.After I recounted the Moskovsky
Universitet’s strange voyage during an October 1999 lecture at the
Association for Research and Enlightenment, in Virginia Beach, Virginia,
my wife, Laura, was approached by a member of the audience. The man in
his late fifties earnestly confided in her that he personally verified
the underwater structures described in my presentation.He
told her that, at the time, he was aboard a U.S. Navy submarine on
patrol in the mid-Atlantic, when orders were received to proceed
immediately to the Ampere Seamount and determine the intentions of a
Soviet vessel lingering there. The Soviets were so engrossed in their
discovery that they were taken by surprise and caught with their lights
on, probing the muddy summit of the sunken mountain. Although approached
in international waters, the Moskovsky Universitet abruptly hoisted
camera cables and anchor, then sailed away with neither recognition
signal nor a transmitted word of explanation.The
Americans did not pursue her but turned their attention to whatever it
was the Russians were so busily doing when interrupted by the submarine.
In short order, they found the same stone wall, staircase, plaza and
other man-made features Marakuyev documented. After making their own
photographic survey of these unexpected finds, the commanding officer
announced to ship’s company that discussing them with anyone, unless
questioned by superior officers, was prohibited under a security oath
each man swore after enlistment.After the anonymous
veteran of these events shared his memories with Laura, he disappeared. I
never met him. Whether or not he was to be believed, the Soviets
thought enough of their subsurface photographs to launch a second Mount
Ampere expedition.“On the 27th of March 1979,”
reporter Craig R. Whitney told readers of The New York Times, “the
Soviet vessel Vityaz was found at the delta of the Portuguese river
Tago. During the same night, journalists from all over the country and
abroad would listen to Dr. [Victor] Ascenov’s scientific announcements
regarding the results of their research in the Atlantic. After the
necessary introduction to the journalists, the Soviet oceanologist
announced some peculiar results regarding their research in the Atlantic
Ocean,” specifically, the Ampere Seamount. “After extensive research
and based on the measurements of our scientific equipment,” Dr. Ascenov
was quoted as saying, “we have identified possible ruins of a submerged
city. We clearly identified destroyed walls and gigantic stairs. And
although all these items are covered with loads of marine plants, we
managed to take clear photographs of the area. The photos show
symmetrical stone constructions, staircases, and other remains. All this
material will be sent to Moscow for further analysis.”The
Soviet Academy of Sciences launched an undisclosed number of follow-up
expeditions into the eastern Atlantic during the early 1980s—perhaps one
during each sailing season every year since the Moskovsky Universitet’s
initial discovery in 1977—but nothing more of their results was made
public after 1979 until the mid-1980s. Their last living survivor, Dr.
Alexander Moiseevich Gorodnitsky, who chaired the laboratory of marine
geophysics at Leningrad’s Arctic Geology Research Institute, described
the final, officially known undertakings of their kind.“In
1984 and 1986,” he told Pravda magazine, “our expedition was working on
the slopes of Mount Ampere, when we found very strange constructions at
the depth of only one hundred meters [three hundred twenty-eight feet].
They looked like rooms and walls. I went under the water [in a
mini-submarine] to see that myself, made some sketches. Other geologists
drew altars or walls. That was what they had seen. We could not take
any photographs at that time [why, Gorodnitsky did not explain]. At
first, it seemed to me that those rooms and walls had been created by
Nature, but the rooms were equal in size.”In September
1985, his colleagues aboard another research vessel, the Academician
Boris Petrov, retrieved a large, carved block from 14,764 feet—984 feet
above the base of Ampere. “The marble artifact’s sides were smoothened,”
Pravda reported. “Its color was yellowish. Its schema [design] betrayed
artificial origin. The Soviet scientists mentioned that it was
definitely man-made. By chemical analysis they produced
paleo-chronological results, showing that this piece of marble was lying
at the bottom of the ocean for thousands of years.” Pravda’s
“paleo-chronological results” were not explained but may have referred
to an ancient, perhaps Paleolithic (i.e., “stone age” time-scale.The
much shallower depths at which Dr. Gorodnitsky observed Ampere’s sunken
“rooms” were revealing, because sea levels hovered around one
hundred-meters until the end of the last “ice age,” or glacial epoch.
Eleven thousand, seven hundred years ago, [strike-through of AP editor!]
the seamount was a sizable island towering between three hundred to
three hundred fifty feet above the ocean, when the structures he saw
would have been, appropriately enough, on dry land near the
shore—beach-front residences.Like his colleagues, he
was shocked by official termination of all on-going and future research
at Ampere before the close of their 1986 expedition season. Director
Aksyonov had peremptorily declared that re-examination of the
photographic surveys proved that all of the seamount’s features were
entirely natural, and no similar investigations would be government
sponsored. He refused to disclose any alleged counter evidence and was
the only scientist who reversed his long-held stance that the underwater
features were artificial.Inexplicable as Professor
Aksyonov’s volte-face seemed at first, its origins were less scientific
than political. His abrupt termination of Ampere research was issued
just days after the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, when
Chernobyl exploded on April 26, 1986. Thirty-one people were killed
outright, another three hundred forty died from radiation-induced cancer
and leukemia, while hundreds of thousands more across Russia and Europe
suffered horrible after effects and premature death. The international
reputation of Soviet science was irrevocably damaged, and all academics
in Russia were ordered by Kremlin officials to step out of the public
spotlight until the disaster sufficiently receded into the past for them
to re-emerge. In just five years, however, the USSR collapsed, caused
at least in part by Chernobyl.During the ensuing
exposure of mass murder, wholesale incarceration, corruption and
incompetence that typified the Communist tyranny for the previous
seventy-four years, a veritable feeding frenzy of document destruction
consumed post-Soviet society. Disempowered government officials and
bureaucrats strove frantically to obliterate all trace of their
complicity in the deposed regime. With President Boris Yeltsin’s
investigative attorneys aggressively tracking down former
career-criminal politicians, whole file libraries were shredded or
incinerated to cover their tracks. There was no time for carefully
distinguishing between incriminating and innocuous written records, and,
in the general fury to escape detection and prosecution, all archives
of original reports, papers, films, photographs and artifacts—including
the marble block salvaged by the Academician Boris Petrov—accumulated
over nine years in the eastern Atlantic—were lost. Since then,
researchers at the Russian Society for Studying the Problems of Atlantis
(Moscow) have been painstakingly piecing together what scraps from
their fellow countrymen’s late twentieth century discovery they can
find.But is Mount Ampere really the most credible
candidate for Plato’s lost civilization as they claim? Named after
French mathematician, physicist, and father of electrodynamics,
André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), it is one of nine, inactive volcanoes
forming the Horseshoe Seamounts, “serrated like a crown,” in the words
of German oceanographer Jörn Hatzky, and matches Plato’s description of
Atlantis as a large island (nesos in the original Greek, not a
“continent”;), ringed with high mountains, “outside the Pillars of
Heracles,” today’s Straits of Gibraltar.“These
seamounts,” Hatzky explains, “are part of the Azores-Gibraltar
structure, which marks the boundary between two, major tectonic plates:
the Eurasian and the African. The submarine volcanism which formed the
Horseshoe Seamounts belongs to the sea floor spread area of the
Mid-Atlantic Ridge.”As such, Mount Ampere is subject
to irregular bouts of subsidence brought about by the seismic
instability of the fault line on which it sits. These caving episodes
have combined over the last one hundred seventeen centuries with glacial
melt and consequent sea level rise at the end of the last ice age to
reduce Ampere from a sizable island, whose base diameter of thirty-one
miles exceeds the size of Switzerland’s Mont Blanc massif, to a shallow
guyot. Its geologically recent existence as dry territory has been
etched into the sunken mountain’s flanks by surviving traces of wind
erosion additionally underscored at various levels by large deposits of
sand, potentially deposited on a beach, usually the result of coastal
wave action in dry-air conditions.“Are these ‘various
levels’ terraces?” wonders American geologist, John T. Parks. “If so,
then they could represent still stands of sea level as the sea level
rose. These might be able to be dated and correlated to specific stages
in the ocean level charts. Sea level curves indicate that, depending on
the location, and any isostatic adjustments (not included), then the
seamount crest would have been drowned between 10,250 and 12,750 Before
Present—making the structures, if they are there, very old indeed. Of
course, if the seamount dropped due to tectonic forces—plate
movements—then the sea level curves would not be representative.”Combined,
these and the considerations cited above tend to identify the
underwater mountain as the most likely location for Atlantis. But
further confirmation is necessary before any ultimate determination can
be made.“All you would have to do,” advised Professor
Aksyonov, “is take a ship with the right equipment to the Ampere
Seamount, go down sixty meters, find the stones and bring them up to see
if they are manmade or not.”Let’s go!
